Song of Solomon 1:3-5

Revised Geneva Translation

³ “Draw me close.” “We will run after you.” “The king has brought me into his chambers.” “We will rejoice and be glad in you. We will remember your love more than wine.” “The righteous do love you.”

⁴ “I am black, O daughters of Jerusalem, but comely, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

⁵ “Do not see me because I am black. For the Sun has looked upon me. The sons of my mother were angry at me. They made me the keeper of the vines. But I did not keep my own vine.”
